Rotary switch with durable spring-loaded mechanism and solid screw contacts for surface mounting. The housing and handle are made of Bakelite.
Here in the version as a 2-way switch. A 2-way switch can either be used individually as an on/off switch or in conjunction with a second 2-way switch to switch a light. If you want to switch from more than two locations, a intermediate switch is required for each additional location.
